Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted for her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with financier Jeffrey Epstein. Specifically the charges were conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor. Prosecutors alleged from at least 1994 to 2004, Maxwell knowingly recruited, groomed, and ultimately abused victims under the age of 18. Some were as young as 14. Facts laid out in court proved Maxell befriended victims by asking them about their lives, and taking them to the movies or on shopping trips. Then, provided guidance for how to deal with Epstein, as in giving massages which lead to sexual acts. Maxwell was sentenced to 20-years. Maxwell first appealed her conviction, but the Appeals Court denied her motion. Now Ghislaine Maxwell has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her sex trafficking conviction, arguing she was covered by a non-prosecution agreement the government made with her former lover, Jeffrey Epstein. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal, and has not even decided whether to take the case. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
